Little City Kids offers daily play-based world history curriculum (FREE)

Here’s an absolutely incredible free curriculum to teach your early elementary aged child about world history, geography and more.

Little City Kids offers thorough, daily lesson plans for 52 weeks of play-based, hands-on social studies lessons. While the Montessori-like curriculum was designed to be used in a museum’s “educational playcare,” every bit of it has been put online for others to use, absolutely free.

Little City Kids says:

There is nothing more important than to give a child the chance and the reason to develop a deep love of learning. It is not our goal to rush young children into acquiring academic knowledge. Rather, Little City Kids encourage each child to explore what he or she can do and to take pride in his or her personal achievement. We help children to develop positive attitudes toward themselves and everything associated with learning.

The weekly lessons are suitable for children from about preschool to first grade, though older children would certainly enjoy them. Each unit is broken down by day with very detailed plans that include crafts, activities, links, videos, book suggestions, teacher resources and even snack suggestions.

This is an incredible resource that does an excellent job of combining learning, exploration and fun.

I would encourage parents to use the curriculum as inspiration and not worry too much about doing every bit of every day’s lesson plans. Just a fraction of the activities would be a wonderful extension to any homeschool.

Have fun!
